Inside the rentable BetseyViIla - AFPLocated in on Mexico's Pacific Coast, northwest of Acapulco, BetseyVilla is described as a "boutique vacation experience" for six to eight guests.

Likewise, guests should be comfortable with living, dining and sleeping with Johnson peering over their shoulders, as portraits of the designer line many a wall.
